"Somebody Got Murdered" lyrics - THE SPECIALS

Someone lights a cigarette
While riding in a car
Some ol' guy take a swig
And passes back the jar

But where they were last night
No one can remember
Goodbye, for keeps forever

Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever

And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same

I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill

Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground

As the daily crown disperse
No one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch

Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever

Sounds like murder
Those shouts
Are they drunk down below?

It's late and my watch stopped
Some time ago

Sounds like murder
Those screams
Are they drunk down below?
